With four of last week’s team not in the squad, coach Rohan Smith will make changes for Sunday’s visit of Huddersfield Giants.

Three-quarters Nene Macdonald and Ash Handley are in Leeds’ initial 21 following injury, which is a boost following the loss of David Fusitu’a to ankle damage. Here’s how Rhinos could line up.

Rhinos will need their organiser to have a big game against his former club.

Still a top-flight rookie, but has gone well and his high work rate is valuable.
